Anyone in a Baseball Game Arguing Balls and Strikes

For anyone who has played or watched baseball, I'm sure you understand that arguing is just part of the game.

But for those who constantly do it, it can get a tad overwhelming.

So whether it's a manager like Bobby Cox—who holds the record for most managerial ejections—a pitcher who can't seem to get the call on the outer parts of the plate or a batter who reacts way too out of hand to a bad call, it's time to slow your roll.

Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins)

In his most recent episode of whining, Pens all-world center Sidney Crosby made a not so smart decision to get in the face of Bruins captain—and behemoth of a man—Zdeno Chara.

But don't think that it's the first time, or last, that Sid will continue to whine like a kid.

Throughout his career, Crosby has traditionally been ranked by his peers amongst the biggest complainers in the league, with some opposing fans even taking it to the next level by creating a beer in honor of his sorrows.

The Dallas Cowboys

Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked, football was a game of hitting.

I'm a little bit flabbergasted at the reaction Cowboys players gave after last season's game against the Seahawks when pint-sized Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate absolutely leveled Dallas linebacker Sean Lee.

I really don't know what's more embarrassing here, the players' crying about being hit, or the fact that the 5'10" Tate laid out the 6'2" Lee?

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)

Whining Grade: B+

Let's just call a spade a spade; the majority of NBA fans can't stand LeBron James and Dwyane Wade together.

Both top-10 players in the league (assuming Wade's healthy), the two are often chirping anytime the feel a finger (or hard foul) from the opposition on them, falling to the floor and sprinting after the nearest ref.

They might have two-straight titles together, and three Finals MVPs between them, but because of it, they're even bigger whiners than most in the league.

Serena Williams (Tennis)

Serena Williams is absolutely one of the best female tennis players to ever play the sport, but she also happens to be the female version of former tennis bad boy, John McEnroe.

With a temper that's unequaled by any athlete of the same gender, Williams often gets in trouble for smashing rackets, verbally-abusing umpires and line judges and, of course, volleys hate back and forth with other players anytime she gets a chance.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid and Portuguese National Team)

Whining Grade: A

Cristiano Ronaldo might be the best soccer player on the planet, willing and able to put the ball pretty much wherever he wants to, but because of his enormous talent and success, he complains a hell of a lot.

Besides CR7 knowingly being one of the biggest divers in the sport, pleading with referees after every "missed" call, there was that small instance of his unhappiness at Real Madrid last fall—which has since passed.

For even mentioning being in the dumps with a model girlfriend, a fat contract and elite status around the world, I just can't give too much sympathy for the dude.

Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)

Even after numerous drunk conversations, in which my college roomates tried to convince me otherwise, I never conceded—even if Kobe was the best of his generation.

What was my hold up?

Exactly what he's shown over the past few months.

I may have finally loosened my hold on the Bryant hate leash, but with him (rightfully) complaining about his parents selling his basketball merchandise, constantly arguing with refs and recently un-following Dwight Howard on Twitter after he left for the Rockets, it's clear Bryant feels like he has a silver spoon and everyone else should feed him with it.
